The market for homophobia in the U.S. clearly isn’t what it used to be. That’s why Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), took to the Voice of Russia radio to rant about the marriage of a gay couple on a Rose Parade float on New Year’s Day. Apparently, exporting hate is his strongest line of business.
In the radio interview, Brown provided the usual mix of whine and slime to which we’ve grown accustomed. His chief complaint is children are being brainwashed into thinking being gay is normal and that people like Brown are bigots.
Wherever could they get such ideas?
“All along, we’ve been hearing from activists who support same-sex marriage, ‘Hey, if we redefine marriage, it won’t have any effect on you, this is about loving individuals, what they decide to do, it will have no effect on you,’” Brown complained. “Well, lo and behold, it has to be shoved in the face of families — many of whom voted to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman – on a float at a family event.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Yes, we wouldn’t want anyone to think that a wedding was a family event. Especially children.
“In America, we can disagree over key issues, but the idea that you would target children and make this about using a family event to sort of indoctrinate kids, that’s just wrong,” Brown said.
Brown may have given up on the U.S. as a hopeless case. But do we really want the U.S. to be known as a net exporter of toxic waste, particular to Russia, where it is already so plentiful?

Brown should be questioned does he support new Russian idea of burning gays alive in ovens? A religious terrorist known as a movie star and as executive of Euroset, the phone retailer chain sent a letter to Putin advocating it and now all pro-Putin media is praising him!

Brown should be deported to Russia. He could live there amid others of like ilk and stop infesting our shores. Really, the man is a complete charlatan, a bigot and quite woefully and willfully ignorant.

How terribly ironic. In the past century, we have gone from the McCarthyism of aligning the lavender scare with the red scare, to having people who consider themselves terrifically American seek out Russians for sympathy over gays.

Disgusting pig.

I fail to see how pointing out that these right wing mentalists are seditionists and sewing terrorist intentions is worthy of censorship?

Brown is an allegedly hetero moral scold who is suspiciously obsessed with The Gays. Fortunately minds are evolving. Eventually it will not be financially rewarding for the anti-equality hustlers and they will have to find something else to shill.
